Since the discriminant is positive, this means we have two distinct real solutions.

If a, b, and c are rational numbers, then a discriminant of D = 40 indicates the two solutions are not rational. We would need D to be a perfect square to get two rational solutions.

Brut [27]

Answer:

Trigonometry can be used to measure the height of a building or mountains

Step-by-step explanation:

if you know the distance from where you observe the building and the angle of elevation you can easily find the height of the building. Similarly, if you have the value of one side and the angle of depression from the top of the building you can find and another side in the triangle, all you need to know is one side and angle of the triangle.

This is pre calculus please help !Describe three ways to determine the measure of segment YZ.

Dmitry [639]

(1) Using trigonometric ratios:
$sin(30) = \frac{YZ}{50}$
$YZ = 25$

(2) Using Pythagoras' Theorem:
$cos(30) = \frac{XY}{50}$
$50cos(30) = XY$
$50^{2} - 50^{2}cos^{2}(30) = YZ^{2}$
$2500 - 2500cos^{2}(30) = YZ^{2}$
$YZ = 25$

(3) Using sine rule:
$\frac{50}{sin(90)} = \frac{YZ}{sin(30)}$
$50 = \frac{YZ}{sin(30)}$
$50sin(30) = YZ$
$YZ = 25$
